Roller grilles in Watford: the essentials
Aluminium grilles are lighter and suit large unit fronts; steel grilles add strength. An open curtain lets air and light through, so displays stay on view and the unit does not look closed down.
Brick-bond, tubular and link patterns give different levels of visibility and strength. Councils often see roller grilles as more acceptable than solid shutters in town centres.
Options we can specify
- Anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Brick-bond, tubular or link lattice
- Optional polycarbonate infill
- Solid kick panel option
- Removable intermediate posts for wide units
- Manual or electric operation

Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Questions about roller grilles in Watford
Do you cover Watford?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Watford. We also cover nearby Bushey, Rickmansworth and Borehamwood.
Can things be passed through a grille?
Small items can pass through an open lattice. Polycarbonate infill panels close the gaps if that is a concern.
Do roller grilles need planning permission?
External roller grilles usually need planning permission like other external security. Councils often find them more acceptable than solid shutters.
Is a roller grille or a perforated shutter better?
A grille gives far more visibility and airflow, while a perforated shutter gives more privacy and weather protection. Shopping centres often specify grilles; high streets use both.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
